摘要:

ADVICE has been sought by the Administration from the National Academy of Sciences on the formulation of Government policy dealing with the relations between questions of loyalty and the awarding of grants and contracts in support of unclassified research. In an exchange of letters between Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams and Academy President Detlev W. Bronk made public on February 8th, the White House asked for and received assurance that the Academy will form a committee to look into the matter.

摘要:

RESEARCH and development is more than holding its own as an item in the Federal budget, accounting for more than $2.2 billion of the total outlay of $62 billion provided for in the President's estimated budget for the 1956 fiscal year, which starts next July 1st. As usual, most of the research funds are earmarked for the Defense Department and the AEC.

摘要:

We are sometimes inclined to think of Africa south of the Sahara as a country covered by tropical jungle and inhabited chiefly by elephants and pygmies. Any such oversimplification would lead us to conclude that this region had no interest for the world of physics. It is the purpose of this article to review (a) what is currently being done in physics and allied sciences and (b) the potentials for research and facilities which could be used by anyone having problems which could logically be undertaken there.

摘要:

The enrollment in physics in public high schools of the United States has decreased steadily during the past six decades. In 1895, about 23&percent; of all high school pupils were enrolled in physics. Over 95&percent; of those graduating in that year had taken a course in physics. In 1952, about 4.3&percent; of high school pupils were enrolled in physics and approximately 21&percent; of the graduates of that year had studied physics. Thus, high school physics has declined in the same period that saw physics rise to new importance in our national life.
